WEDDING! Part 2: The Day Of

**Warning more Picture overload!**
I couldn't help it!


WEDDING DAY! (August 6, 2005)
On our wedding day I was so excited! I got ready at my parents house and J. and the guys got ready at our house. It was so much fun to get our hair done at a long time friends hair salon. 
After that we headed over to my parents house to start getting ready. 
 Everyone was busy getting me ready and many people were up my dress trying to get my 'fluff' to stay up so I didn't have to hold my dress us when walking. 
My dad was kicked out of the house until I was done. I wanted him to get the whole sh-a-bang when he walked in.
This was interesting. I had to climb into the truck but was not allowed to step on the tailgate and I couldn't see my feet. It was so funny!
It looks like we were going fast but we really weren't but that's how we got to the park. 
THE CEREMONY!
After all that hard work to make it so I didn't have to hold my dress up my dad steps on it (and we got a picture to prove it!) and pulls it down. For the rest of the ceremony and pictures I have to lift my dress whenever I walked.
AFTERWARDS
More people up my dress! Trying to fix it so I don't have to hold it up.
Groom: M Best Man: Mike Groomsmen: Big Mike (Mike's Dad), Uncle Mark
Bride: Me! Maid of Honor: Katie (red hair), Bridesmaids: Kelly (Mike's wife, far left), Censie (pronounces Kenzie, far right)
Flower Girl: Cherokee (Uncle Mark's daughter)  Ring Bear: My nephew Alex
This is by far the cutest picture! I love it!
THE RECEPTION!
Mr. & Mrs.
Our grooms cake had a plane on it because M loves planes. One day he still has the goal of having his pilot's license. 
Our cake topper was from a garage sale. I love Dreamsicles and I saw this and had to have it. They were selling it because they got divorced. We were hoping that it wasn't full of bad luck but we are doing good so far.
My wedding shoes. I wore them the whole time and they were so comfy. They were just cheap flip-flops with crocheted yarn to make them look fancy. There were great. My mom surprised us with them. My girls wore them for the reception. 
Right before this picture was taken M was making jokes about cutting the cake. He is always joking around!
I think he got the biggest piece of cake that he could grab before mom or dad could tell him no.
Alex's brother Dylan enjoying an equal size of cake.
Our first dance. We danced to "It's Your Love" by: Tim McGraw and Faith Hill
Father Daughter Dance! We dance to "Butterfly Kisses" and then before the last verse I had the DJ change it to "The Twist" because my dad and I always dance to that song anywhere we are that plays it. My dad kept saying "I got punk'd" even though he had no real idea what that really meant. 
Hanging outside getting some air as things start slowing down. Just enjoying a few moments with my dad.
And some friends are blowing bubbles.
When all of a sudden Katie starts freaking out because she got a bubble in her eye. It's so funny that we got a picture of that too.
So that's it! Our whole wedding! It was a great day and we had lots of fun. I'm so grateful for my husband and the life that we have together.

    Thank you! We went out to dinner on Friday and then Dad wanted Rex over night on Saturday so we rented some movies and hung out at home. It was pretty laid back because our cruise is our anniversary present a month late.

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

12 Week Bumpdate

Yesterday we had our 12 week ultrasound and I enjoyed it so much! We were able to see our baby's face and she  (we didn't find anything out about the sex just hard to talk without he's and she's) had her hands up by her face. It was so cute. We also have a very stubborn child. The poor tech had such a hard time trying to get the measurements that she needed. She kept trying to get the baby to move. She had me move trying to get to the baby to move and nothing. So we were able to enjoy watching our baby on the screen for at least 20 minutes while she did her best to get the pictures she needed.  I'm a little bummed by the photo she gave us to take home. There were so many good photos where you could see so much and then right at the end she gave us a quick photo that isn't great but I will share it anyway. Like I said bad right. Well so it can help the baby's head in on the right side, Her hand is the white blob in front of her face and then you can b...

The ABC's of Our Family

I got a great idea from this lovely  blog  about doing a ABC photo book through out the year. Each week taking one photo that goes along with a letter. I have seen lots of great ideas for different photo blog ideas but all seem like to much work and something that I know I wouldn't be able to do. This one seems reasonable for our crazy life.  So to start off I have chose a great picture that I took of Rex and M playing together one day when he got home from work. Rex is so ADORABLE in this picture I just knew this was what I had to use! Plus I already know what I'm using for next week even though the picture hasn't been taken yet.  So here it is.......ADORABLE Rex playing with his Daddy! Oh I just can't get enough of this guy. Also as a little side note to how adorable he is...he kept posing for the camera once I got. He didn't care that Mommy was watching him play and wouldn't even look at me but soon as the camera was out he had to keep turning and...
